To speak, a language is no longer required...!!

Indian TV channels have excessive bombardment of commercials (advertisements), 24 hrs X 7 days. There is less time for ‘contents’and more for the Ads. With exorbitant mass advertising, I wonder how Indians remember and recall those ads to make a decision while in the marketplace or doing shopping.

One such ad by an Indian mobile service provider company claims thru an ordinary-looking, flop hero (called ‘Sar-ji’ or rather ‘Paer-ji’ – in Hindi) who plays a dumb role in the ad that “To speak, no language is required”. “Now anyone can talk in any language”. Sounds silly...!! Interpreters of the world: have you heard this? Time to lose your jobs! Now using this mobile technology (?), every Indian can talk in English and those who wish to study overseas, need not take tests like TOEFL, IELTS, etc. Now anyone can easily talk in any language, for example, in Mandarin (Chinese), Japanese or Spanish. What an idea…! This could also facilitate to talk in and understand the languages of other vertebrates, such as birds and animals. Beware of Indians. They have made a remarkable progress in India and left the world behind...!
